I had made some contact with Jan, but have not been able to contact her for a while now. You may remember me as Gena, that is what everyone calls me. Which one is your parent. We were the 3 children that our grandfather raised, that used to come to Uncle Will,s store everyday, boy, do I miss those days. Do you still live in Paris? We live in Fort Worth, but last year, my grandfather,s house was put up on the courthouse block for back taxes, and no one bought it, so, I went to the city of Paris, and paid the back taxes on it. It needs a lot of work, the other kids lived in it, and let it go to the dogs. I was shocked to see it look that way. We will be going to Paris to try and fix the old place up soon, but it is hard for us to get the days off. I just could not see it done that way, it liked to broke my heart. I do hope to hear from you soon. I don,t know what information you have, but I hope we can help each other. I just found some information about Isaac hic! ks, our ggg grandfather. He has been my brick wall for the longest time. I have been going to the Fort Worth Archive Center checking on the names I have on the Dawes Roll. When I was a little girl, papa would tell me about how he had to live, and that he was native american, and I remember a relative we had, they was always trying to get papa to go get his roll no, because they had thiers. i wish he had. So at least I know it is there. I have been looking for years. I know that there were many different names. because they married more than one time, so I just have to find that one name. Wish me good luck. Vidia
